Power House Outage in Gilgit: No Electricity Restored After Two Days of Rain

Gilgit (Special Representative) – Residents of Circle 1 have been facing severe hardships since the power house’s electricity supply was suspended two days ago due to heavy rains. The fault caused by continuous rainfall has not yet been repaired, leaving the entire area in darkness. Local citizens complain that the power cut is severely disrupting household chores, while commercial activities have come to a standstill. Shop owners and small traders say the lack of electricity is causing financial losses and hampering daily transactions. Public circles sharply criticize the Power Department’s performance, accusing officials of taking a “rabbit‑hole” approach and not treating the problem with seriousness despite its gravity. According to residents, the failure to restore power since yesterday is a clear sign of the department’s incompetence. Moreover, the prolonged outage is affecting students’ educational activities. Children preparing for exams face particular difficulties, and those relying on online education are completely cut off. The community has urged senior officials to take immediate notice, repair the power house fault on an emergency basis, and restore electricity to alleviate the hardships faced by the public.
